Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru [Chapter 53]

Aki continues to wait in front of the Koeda vegetable store.
He hears some noise inside. He goes to the rolled up gate and overhears Mrs.
Koeda telling her husband to wake up. Aki is glad that it is no wonder a vegetable
store since they are awake at 5:30am. Riko goes downstairs. Her father asks how
come she’s up so early. Riko says that it is because his alarm clock is too
loud. She pulls up the rolled up gate and sees Aki who greets her a good
morning. She asks him what he’s doing. Taking out an ipod from his pocket and
giving it to her, Aki says that he’s couldn’t wait and he wanted her to listen
to it as soon as possible. Back at school, Shinya and others had finished
playing the piece. Yuu exclaims that is amazing, and it’s quite a high
[feeling]. Kaoru looks thoughtful and mutters why he already forgot the day
when he got to play Aki’s music for the first time, they’ve cried, all four
grown-up guys, and it is quite extreme. “Who told that guy not to let us play.
We should have just work on the music but listening to the music that one
makes, is still quite an embarrassing thing.. That guy said, ‘if the music is
played well, then it enables one to feel happy about it’. Even if at that time
I felt that letting us perform as amateurs with his [Aki’s] music is quite bad
[news/has bad outcome] but I didn’t say it out.. That person’s attitude hasn’t
changed a bit..” [<-I tried my best to understand what he is saying but
basically, I think he’s complaining about Soichiro who didn’t let them play
even if Kaoru has misgivings about playing it themselves] Shinya says that
worthless self-confidence really gives people trouble. Opening the window,
Kaoru says that he didn’t think of himself like that and he thinks that it is
definitely because their skill is quite awful so he won’t let them play.
“So..I’m very happy the first time I was able to play Aki’s music.. *looks out
the window* This kind of thing, even if one can say that it is inevitable, but
I’m still quite happy that I couldn’t sit still. ..Ya, Aki’s music, playing it
is quite fun..” Yuu chimes in and exclaims that’s right, the feeling is really
great. Shinya sighs and mutters, “And, compared to ‘Tomorrow Still’? *the two
says ha* Don’t answer, it also doesn’t matter. ..I also don’t plan on asking.
(Even if I don’t ask, I already know)” Sitting by the railing with Aki, Riko
puts the earphones of the ipod and plays it. She is blown away by it. Flustered
Riko wonders what to do. She is moved by it. She glances at Aki and thinks that
she unexpectedly wants to sing only this person’s composed music.

Outside the school’s gate, Kaoru thanks Yuu who hands him
his guitar. He asks Shinya if he thinks that he can play before tomorrow.
Shinya casually says who knows. This made Kaoru flustered. Shinya adds that he
thinks that it is already okay and he doesn’t know whether or not it can pass
through Aki.. “By the way, after that guy says that it is OK, he would
immediately mention a lot more requests, right? So, it causes the rehearsal to
drag on a long time. A few days ago, he said that it is OK then he would very
easily overthrow [everything] again. It is really messed up.” The two goes
‘ha?’ when Yuu asks what kind of person is this Aki and is it true that rumors
that he has a dual personality. “I really hope to be able to see him once.
*smiles* like, being able to see him during rehearsal-” Kaoru exclaims huh,
what is he talking about, no way. Shinya says that he couldn’t dare believe it,
it would be quite terrible. “Even if he’s an idiot, he also should be a bit
careful or else, he’ll die quite miserably.” [<- referring to Yuu] Yuu is
totally clueless. Kaoru grins and says that even if it is like that, this is
quite good, right? “On contrary, it would be more interesting.” Shinya agrees
with him. Still puzzled Yuu shouts for them to more or less tell him a bit
[/explain a bit what they are talking about]. Back to the couple, Aki nervously
looks at Riko and asks how is it. Riko can see his [imaginary] tail wagging.
This made Riko burst out in laughter that Aki asks what it is, and what she is
laughing at. Still laughing, Riko thinks that she has seen it [tail] and what
to do, how come this person is so cute. Blushing Aki says that this is a work
that he is confident of. She smiles at him and says that the outfit he’s
wearing is exactly the same as yesterday’s. Aki apologizes for he was so
engrossed in composing the music. In the car, Yuu apologizes for making Shinya
drive him. Shinya says that driving kids is fundamentally the obligation of an
adult. Yuu mutters if he is still a kid. Shinya says that he is since a 17
years old is basically a kid who can make all sorts of mistakes. “There are
also a lot of things that one couldn’t see and it would be better to pay
attention a bit. *Yuu quietly looks at Shinya* When I was 17 years old, it is
because I don’t know this principle that I have blundered. Thinking about it,
I’ve decided on it quite childishly as opposed to an adult. If it is the
current 24 years old me, I absolutely wouldn’t have joined Crude Play.” Yuu
tensely says, “that.. is..” He nervously laughs and Shinya didn’t react. Trying
to improve the mood, Yuu asks if he can play some music. Shinya is surprised
when Yuu pushes the play button of the car’s music player. The music is ‘For
Rico’ [made by Aki].

At Marvel Office, Shibaken is shock that the suggestion was
turned down. The manager says that it is an instant death, and that OT [Office
Takagi] is quite amazing as a music company that it didn’t waver a bit. “It is
such a good condition for a greenhorn newbie to appear as a Getsuku* lead and to
act in a drama alongside with you, it kind of make one hesitate, right? At the
very least, one would feel that it would be more advantageous to first make an
appearance [/debut].” [*Monday at 9pm. This is traditionally the time when the
most popular TV dramas air in Japan. Source: wiki ] Shibaken asks if they are idiots, and can
they be Mush’s manager like this. The manager says that he is mistaken and
there is definitely a reason for it. Using his iphone to search on Crude Play,
the manager says that if it is him, at the height of Crude Play’s Shun’s popularity,
he will definitely strike while the iron is hot and get him [Shun] a television
drama. But for OT, whether it is a CM or a very small-time work, [OT] won’t accept
it.” The manager tells Shibaken that they haven’t done the actor/actress list
yet and they don’t have much time. Shibaken is infuriated. At Hearst, Miwako
looks at her calendar regarding a discussion with Shinya at 14:00~ onwards
regarding Mush&Co’s 2nd single. She sighs and becomes flustered upon
recalling how Shinya answered her back at his place. A guy calls out to Miwako
that Shinya has arrived. After Shinya greets the guy, Miwako scolds Shinya for
being late. Shinya says that he plans on cancelling the meeting but as an
adult, he responsibly came here so she ought to be praising him. While leading
him to a room, Miwako says that even if the rehearsal is very tiring but he was
the one who chose this time for the discussion. Shinya says that is right, he
was the one who decided everything. Miwako asks if he is in a bad mood. Shinya
says that she’s the one who is picking a fight first. Flustered Miwako says who
told him to be late and normally, one would say that.. In the room, while
Miwako puts a couple of drinks on the table, Shinya prepares to sit down and
says that he is only late by 10 minutes so there’s no need to be that angry.
“If it is Aki, the one you like, he would put it off without any misgivings and
just say one sentence, ‘that music is done[/finished]’ then one couldn’t
contact him and who knows where he ran off to.” Shinya looks at Miwako who
seems to look happy as she says, is that so..

At Office Takagi, practicing with Yuu, Sou says that it’s
great and he also wants to be called there, too. [<- I’m not too sure if Sou
said that or it is a continuation of what Miwako is saying ^^;] Yuu exclaims
that it’s super fun even if he..at the very end, still failed[/made a mistake].
Flashback: While listening to the music, Yuu exclaimed to Shinya that this song
is super amazing and is this Mush&Co’s new song. “Compared to ‘Tomorrow
Still’, this one is more praise-worthy!!” Shinya muttered, “More praise-worthy,
huh..” Yuu happily said that that it felt that this music is showcasing Riko’s
superior voice. “She’s obviously quite petit.. but having such an explosive
feeling.. that kind of feeling as if it would suddenly burst people’s hearts.”
Shinya knocked on the player and said, “This is the music that Aki composed.” Back
at the meeting room, Shinya tells Miwako that he thinks that they shouldn’t use
that music that he emailed her. This surprises and puzzles Miwako. She tells
him to wait a minute, why, but the schedule is arranged.. Shinya says that doing
it according to the original schedule has no meaning, right? “For you, whether
Aki is late or even if he disappeared and couldn’t be found, you prefer him,
right?” This made Miwako flustered. She exclaims what nonsense is he blabbing
about and they are discussing about work, right!? Shinya apologizes for giving
her trouble but in [comparing] whoever song is better, Aki is the winner. Miwako
says that didn’t he already finish it and on the side of work, one must have balance
time and quality. Shinya says so that’s it, because it is the music he makes so
she already knows its quality that there is no need to continue waiting for it.
“Where is quality displayed[/laid out]. Wanting to comply with a deadline, is
that what you mean?” Miwako looks tense. She explains that it is because as a
composer, he is only a newbie, that he still doesn’t have any achievement.
“And, Crude Play’s Shinya is also more popular. It is undoubtedly advantageous
to work together with someone who’ll easily become achiever/s [or easily become
successful].” Shinya mutters that it is such a boring benefit, this kind of
thing. Miwako asks him what’s the matter for it feels like he is a bit
strange.. Shinya says, “..yes, very strange. Since the start of yesterday
[daytime], I’m always quite strange. Because Aki said that he already made a
song for Mush and Shun.. *Shinya glances at puzzled Miwako’s reaction* You..
you’re my supervisor [person-in-charge], and it is also okay even if it is a lie,
pretend to tell me that my song is the best! *stands up and looks flustered*
You should at least, pretend to anticipate the music that I did!” To Miwako’s
surprise, Shinya suddenly grabs her and kisses her on the lips.

Comment: Ah..Shinya
obviously flipped ^^; That’s the conclusion I make after all his ‘act as an responsible
adult’ talk. Apparently, the guy is under a lot of stress, jealousy, pressure,
etc and it doesn’t help that he is a loner type. I think it is like when he got
too angry at Aki before that he tried and failed miserable to punch Aki. I
guess it is when Shinya’s ‘emotional side’ took over the ‘logical side’ that he
would do a very irrational thing. In a way, I cannot blame him because since he’s
smart and everything, I think he already knows that his job with Mush & Co
is pretty much over = taken over by Aki. It is also futile to struggle and
compete against a genius so in that meeting, Shinya seems to have pretty much
lost his motivation and is probably inclined to throw in the towel. It is
indeed a complicated feeling since Shinya couldn’t hate Aki either for he likes
the guy even if he is like that and he really likes Aki’s music. It is one
thing to know that he’s inferior as a composer to Aki, it is another to be told
by someone about it. Ah, the truth hurts. Even a person, who is usually blunt
about the harsh truth and tend to accept it, would sometimes want to be lied
to..probably as a temporary remedy for the frustration and other negative
feelings he have. Anyway, I don’t think he has feelings for Miwako that he did
that..it is probably just wanting to score with a girl who likes Aki or he
probably imagines her as Riko, or well, as I assumed, just doing something very
irrational to vent his frustrations =P Kaoru seems to have found what was
missing in his playing but isn’t quite confident about it yet. I still wonder
what Shinya was thinking that he decided to help out Kaoru. Is it because of ‘being
a responsible band member’ or something else? He had admitted to Yuu that he
wouldn’t have joined Crude Play so, does that mean he plans to quit soon or he
is going to ride this along and be responsible for his choice? It seems that
Yuu is like a ‘clueless shoujo lead’ ^^; He still didn’t know who CP’s Aki is?!
I wonder if that is a running joke or it has some other implication later on. He
even cluelessly hurt Shinya’s feelings and I’m glad that Shinya didn’t claim
that the music is his. ^^ So much for the TV drama, better luck next time for
Shibaken. As for Aki, well, he is acting like a puppy in this chapter – waiting
patiently outside, happy to meet her, anticipates what she thinks of his music.
And, if there are no hindrances, Riko would most probably sing Aki’s songs
exclusively. Scans by 红莲&wink炖蘑菇汉化组

Thanks for the summary! Shinya and Miwako kissed?! heh! I knew this would happen! I kinda ship them lol!

I doubt Shinya have a romance feelings for her, but he wants to have a person who will praise his effort in writing music. I guess he want Miwako to praise him even though its lie, he just need to hear a positive comment about his writing. Shinya don't want to be replace just like he was Aki's replace in Crude Play. He wants to get notice by his abilities, but its not skilled enough on Aki's level. I understand where he came from. He wouldn't be in Crude Play if Ak'i didn't ask him to take over his position in Crude Play. That's what I think he meant when he told Yuu that he wouldn't have joined Crude Play if it wasn't for Aki.

You did..and I..slightly.. just wondering how they would kiss with glasses on..and there, I got to see it =P

Ya, I think so, too regarding Miwako.

Is that so..I thought he really regretted to be in Crude Play since he couldn't exactly 'blend in' with the group. He is like the 'sore thumb' that a deceased adult friend, iirc, even suggested to him to find his own comrades where he is most probably more appreciated. He went to move on with Mush&Co but unfortunately, that is also a 'failure' indirectly because of Aki.

If there could be only Aki/Riko moments like these with no impending drama between the two this would make the manga so much better to come. They're hilarious together with each of them playing off the others strengths and weaknesses. Alas we know that's not going to be the case if the monologue is anything to go by.

Thank you very much.... i have been waiting for this chapter for so long.....I wish to see your update soon...Oh... and please tell me if you have already watched the live action movie of this manga.. i have looked everywhere but still could not find it.. Thanks you once again...Love you always.. .Ly.

I have not watched it. I don't think it is available yet since it was just shown in the theaters on December, iirc. You'll have to wait for the DVD/Bluray release..before you can find it in the net. That is what they usually use for fansubs - for movie released films/anime.

Oh... and i have watched tempest anime, the one you use as your picture on the front page. I love it, but... i was confused... is he still in love with his passed-girlfriend or is she has fallen in love with the princess of mage?...I think he is already in love with the princess though.. what about you??

Hiyo!! =D
